Abstract: We investigate the fundamental problem of when a ground atom in a disjunctive database is assumed false. There are basically two different approaches for inferring negative information for disjunctive databases; they are Minker's Generalized Closed World Assumption (GCWA) and Ross and Topor's Disjunctive Database Rule (DDR). A problem with the GCWA is that disjunctive clauses are sometimes interpreted exclusively, even when they are intended for inclusive interpretation. On the other hand, the... (Update)
